In this paper, I will try to grasp the process of cultural identity transformation caused by one's change of cultural context. In other words, I will try to follow the changes happing to the identity when a person leaves its culture and encounters a new one. Through the analyses of phases of cultural shock, I will question and problematize the notions of borders, identities, representations, cultural norms, and beliefs. Starting from cultural shock and the phases that one goes through while encountering new cultural surroundings and systems of different symbolical meanings on a subjective personal level which I will describe through my personal experience of the Erasmus exchange program in Ankara, Turkey, from which I will try to move on to the larger socio-cultural conceptual level. To do so, I'll use the phases of cultural shock that Garza-Guerrero suggests: the cultural encounter, the reorganization, and the new identity which will serve as a structural base of my work and through which I will be able to question the ideas of borders, the notions of identity and follow the formation and transformations of identity. Ethnographic methodological technics will allow me to grasp the research part of this paper. Using the method of enhanced ethnography, which uses technics of fictional writing, but it's similar to the real events, more precisely, it's as similar as the memory of a researcher and the notes from the field allow it to be. Moreover, because of the style of writing, but also because of using personal memories and experiences as the subject of the research which is linked to the broader theoretical concepts, in this paper I'm using the method of Autoethnography.
